Comanche Nation Entertainment has installed eConnect’s eClear solution across its five Oklahoma-based casino properties as the operator steps up its efforts to ensure the safety of team members and guests.

Asserting that “checking for elevated temperatures is critical as it may help mitigate the spread of the virus,” eClear is lightweight and portable and can be placed at guest or team member entrances as well as becoming permanently mounted if desired. 

In addition to the basics of preventing the spread of disease by automatically checking temperatures, the facial matching component offers a real-time aggregate count of all entrances and exits while simultaneously recognising and alerting about valuable customers. 

Furthermore, the system can also notify the team about the arrival of banned customers even if they are wearing face masks. 

“We have been working with thermogenic sensors for five years and when COVID-19 hit, we were ready to help our business partners with a solution,” explained Chris Swanger, eConnect regional vice president of sales. 

“We have adopted the best practices and standards being set forth throughout businesses across the country, and we are happy to help Comanche Nation casinos deploy the safest and most effective solution to reopen their properties and keep them open long-term. 

“We feel so fortunate to have a customer like them. The team at Comanche Nation Casinos is such a pleasure to work with and their genuine hospitality sets a great example for the gaming community.”

eClear has been installed at Comanche Nation Entertainment’s roster of gaming establishments, namely Comanche Nation Casino in Lawton, Comanche Red River Hotel Casino and Comanche Nation Travel Plaza in Devol, Comanche Spur Casino in Elgin and Comanche Star Casino in Walters,   

“Our mission is to make Comanche Nation casinos safe places for our guests, team members, and tribal members,” added Mia Tahdooahnippah, CEO of Comanche Nation Entertainment. “Our management team ultimately decided to use eConnect’s eClear thermal temperature scanner, which scans the temperatures of guests in a quick, contactless process, when they enter the casino. 

“This helps ensure the safety of our guests and team members, and allows people to scan themselves in accordance with social distancing guidelines set forth by the CDC.”
